• certifying a class of purchasers of stocks and bonds even though both markets failed to meet all factors
• finding short interest factor weighed in favor of market efficiency where average short interest of the company stock was low, but there were no significant barriers to short-selling
• adopting the “majority view” that “mere communication with corporate insiders will not render a class representative atypical for class certification purposes absent the exchange of non-public information”
• private conversations that conveyed public or otherwise immaterial information did not render lead plaintiff atypical
• “Affiliated Ute presumption is equally inapplicable because Clifford Chance owed no duty of disclosure to DVI’s investors”
